The Devil's Slave by Tracy Borman
5.0
The first 100 pages move rather slowly. It’s a lot of catching up to where everyone is now and what is going on. But after that it really picked up and I couldn’t put it down! I did get a bit frustrated with the main character at times. She seemed to keep digging herself a deeper hole. But I could understand her reasoning for her actions.
I do not know a whole lot about the Stuart period of England’s history. There are countless moves out there about the Tudors. Quite a few about the Plantagenets. But not many about the Stuart’s. This series does an amazing job of covering all of the historical facts, while drawing you in with a fictional story. I found myself cheering on the relationship between Frances and Sir Thomas, while also intrigued by the issue of the marriage of Princess Elizabeth. It was definitely a 5 star read for me and I am looking forward to the 3rd book in this trilogy.
